Betty Pilcher has an interesting display of antique decorative combs at the library. Decorative hair combs were not only useful but beautiful and fashionable as well. Betty has been collecting the combs for approximately 18 years. Two of the combs belonged to her grandmother, some were gifts from family and friends and the others were bought in antique store in Ogallala, Nebraska and Walnut, Iowa. Come in and see them.

The library board met Tuesday, August 7, with 6 members present. It was announced that the library was eligible for the "Gates Grant" to buy computers.
